Solar Flair has obvious claims given he was beaten only a nose over track and trip a fortnight ago and finished ahead of Stellarta, Dutch Golden Age and Go Far in the process. He should make another bold bid and Fast Track is not out of this having placed the last twice at Wolverhampton with Captain Dion and Eljaddaaf behind. But another chance goes to ELTEZAM, a promising two-year-old in pattern races back in 2015, who missed the whole of last year. He ran out of steam on his comeback run over 7f at Wolverhampton having refused to settle and should be more malleable today with Frankie taking over the reins.
